In end-of-line packaging quality control, detecting metal contaminants inside sealed carton boxes, large cases, or packaged goods is a mandatory step. The APMD-5030 Online Metal Detector for Full Cartons is a specialized automated contaminant inspection solution designed for large packages, accurately detecting all metal fragments (ferrous, copper, aluminum, stainless steel) hidden deep within carton boxes without opening the packaging.
ETEK proudly provides a turnkey solution for genuine APMD-5030 metal detector systems, easily integrating seamlessly into automated factory casing and shipping lines.
What is the APMD-5030 Metal Detector?
The APMD-5030 (Online Metal Detector for Cartons & Large Packages) is an automated quality inspection system operating on electromagnetic wave induction principles. Featuring a 300mm aperture height and 500mm conveyor width, it is specifically designed for large packages.
When a sealed carton box moves through the aperture frame, the system performs a 360° comprehensive scan to identify even subtle magnetic field variations caused by metal particles or fragments, automatically triggering a rejection mechanism to divert defective boxes off the line.
Automated Operating Process:
- Conveying: The belt transfers the carton box into the electromagnetic wave aperture frame.
- Scanning & Analysis: The system performs a comprehensive 360° scan inside the box, detecting ferrous, copper, aluminum, or stainless steel contaminants.
- Sorting & Rejection: Upon detecting a contaminant, the machine instantly activates the automatic rejection mechanism without affecting other compliant boxes.
Applications
The APMD-5030 is optimized for inspecting full carton boxes and bulky packages across various industries:
- Full Carton Box Inspection: Metal detection for cartons containing confectionery, canned goods, processed foods, cosmetics bottles, toys, and export garments.
- Large Bagged/Sacked Products: Metal detection in agricultural bags, seeds, fertilizers, and animal feed.
- Bulk Goods & Light Industry: Inspecting boxed raw materials prior to warehousing or export.
- Versatile Packaging Formats: Suitable for carton boxes, large cases, sacks, boxed bottles, and bulk items.

- 360° Comprehensive Scan: Thoroughly detects metal fragments hidden deep in the middle or bottom of the carton box without interference from corrugated paper layers.
- Multi-Metal Detection: Accurately detects magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including ferrous, copper, and stainless steel.
- 4 Flexible Rejection Options: Choice of pusher arm, air blast, drop belt, or alarm-stop conveyor configurations based on carton weight.
- Intuitive 7-Inch Touch Screen: Easily set detection thresholds, manage passwords, and track error history logs.
- Customizable Engineering: Aperture dimensions and conveyor width can be tailored to actual factory carton specs.
Business Benefits
- Shipment Protection: Ensures all sealed cartons leaving the factory are 100% free from metal contaminants.
- Avoid Contract Penalties & Recalls: Eliminates the risk of rejected shipments or returns from export partners due to safety non-compliance.
- End-of-Line Process Automation: Replaces manual inspection, enabling continuous conveyor operation at speeds of 20–30 m/min.
- International Standards Compliance: Helps factories easily achieve international food safety and quality management certifications (HACCP, ISO 22000, BRC, GMP, IFS, etc.).
